                         Subpart B_Applications

 

Sec. 971.213  Amendment to an application.



    After an application has been submitted to the Administrator, but 

before a determination is made on the issuance or transfer of a permit, 

the applicant must submit an amendment to the application if there is a 

significant change in the circumstances represented in the original 

application which affects the requirements of this subpart. Applicants 

should consult with NOAA to determine if changes in circumstances are 

sufficiently significant to require submission of an amendment. The 

application, as amended, would then serve as the basis for 

determinations by the Administrator under this part. For each amendment 

judged by the Administrator to be significant, the Administrator will 

provide a copy of that amendment to each other Federal agency and 

department which received a copy of the original application, and also 

will provide for public notice, hearing and comment on the amendment 

pursuant to Sec. 971.212. After the issuance or transfer of a permit, 

any revision of the permit will be made pursuant to Sec. 971.413. Any 

amendment or modification which would cause coastal zone effects 

substantially different than those originally reviewed by the state 

agency would be subject to Federal consistency review as prescribed in 

15 CFR part 930.
